A bail reduction hearing for the 20-year-old Baker man accused in the September shooting death of LSU basketball player Wayde Sims has been delayed until June 10.

One of Dyteon Simpson's court-appointed attorneys, Margaret Lagattuta, told state District Judge Don Johnson on Thursday she needs more time to compile mitigation evidence and other documents for the hearing.

Simpson, who is charged with second-degree murder, is being held on $350,000 bail.

DNA evidence retrieved from a pair of glasses found on the scene matched a DNA sample that Simpson gave investigators, authorities said. The glasses were knocked off the shooter’s face during the fight, according to witness statements contained in an arrest report.

Simpson confessed to punching Sims’ friend and then intentionally shooting Sims, police have said. He faces a mandatory sentence of life in prison if convicted as charged.
